Ok. It looks like this may work a little better. But afterward it
looks like I will have to merge the vendors changes into my 'vendor
integration' branch (or vendor_update, as I called it previously). It
looks like that branch, which was created before the new import, is
stuck to 1.1.1.1 This is still pretty painful.
It seems the real problem is that import wants to work on the main
trunk and no where else.

Well, if I did have 1.12.13, from the manual it sounds like this would
only help on new files. Is that right?
